Re: SSG or SSJ4
As for SS3, it is very bizarre and so un DB or Toriyama. That is why I believe that SS3 was only intended for that one moment, then for some reason he decided to use it for Gotenks (clearly wasn't planned with the poor way it was written in) and then by Goku came back but even then he clearly didn'...

Re: SSG or SSJ4
I love SSG a lot but the more refined hair and protruding bangs are a part of how Toriyama draws base Goku’s hair on his more detailed illustrations (just look at Battle of Gods poster). I'd say SSG's hair was at least intended to be somewhat more refined than his base form. In Toriyama's more rece...

Re: SSG or SSJ4
I think they should have left it at SSGod, and later have something like Goku "Unleashed SSGods true full power" in the ToP instead of introducing the silver form. I completely agree. If not that, at the very least they should've kept SsjG as the main form longer than they did. Blue's int...

Re: Funimation Featured on Anime Production Committees For Three Titles in Winter 2020 Season
Considering FUNi have won the spelling war and now everyone worldwide is being subjected to the dub spellings I wouldn't be so easy to rule anything out. Don't forget they knew Broly was popular overseas so presumably they would have had to have held some sort of discussion with FUNi to get to that ...

Re: Shouldn't Vegetto have had armor?
Jeez there is no inconsistency or lazy writing. Of all the things to complain about how are people still complaining about Vegetto not having armour in DBS. Right. 1. Has it ever occurred to people that Vegetto's gi is just Goku's inverted with Vegeta's gloves and boots? Meaning Vegeta having or not...

Re: Would you say Dragonball Evolution is better or worse than The Last Airbender?
Evolution is fine I recently watched it and was surprised at how much I was into it and how much more I enjoyed it than the likes of BoG. Past few years I stopped giving a shit what the general consensus on things were and that I felt I needed to hate or like things because that was the majority opi...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
It's interesting to look back and see how often authors recycled material from before. Toyotaro does it a lot but Toriyama shouldn't be exempt from accusation as he's taken shortcuts himself. https://i.imgur.com/i1RihS4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ut0Oym0.png https://i.imgur.com/208jpwQ.jpg https://i.i...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Re: So, have you finally accepted that this is Saiyan show now?
Perfect example is Videl people talk about how modern DB ruined her character except she was ruined in the same arc she was introduced when she was relegated to just being Gohan's love interest on the sidelines, it's funny when people talk about how "badass" Videl was they never mention a...

Re: What do you want with Broly?
How is the time frame holding back DB? For starters, they can't kill off anyone who's alive in EOZ. They can't do anything drastic with the status quo that doesn't line up with EOZ. The tension levels will always be low because we know everyone and everything will be OK thanks to EOZ. Cast will nev...

Re: So, have you finally accepted that this is Saiyan show now?
The Saiyans have become front and center, and have (indirectly) pushed the Namekians and humans into the background. But I think that may have been inevitable when they were introduced. Even when they were introduced, the others were still used in meaningful ways. Piccolo for example was sometimes ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Well, it was bound to happen. Bandai has been advertising Migatte no Goku'i for two-plus years now, they're ready to move on to a new form. I doubt they are and even then it is the manga so nothing is gonna get marketed anyway, thankfully. It has been 5 years and SSGSS is still the main mascot form...

Re: Did The BOG & ROF Films *Need* To Be Remade As Arcs For DBS?
Absolutely and in case of BoG it dramatically improved on the "movie" version. (In fact BoG arc is my most re-watched ard of DBS!) You can get away with movies continuing on from TV but not the other way around so I fully expect Broly to be retold or recapped in some degree if DBS returns ...

Re: Is Dragon Ball creatively bankrupt at this point?
It's not creatively bankrupt, BoG was totally fresh for the franchise. However the rest of Super likes to redo old villains/ideas or tackle ideas fans have been asking for (eg. Evil Goku). Even this new Moro arc isn't totally new, since Moro as a villain is pretty much King Piccolo meets Cell/Buu. ...

I remember we ended up changing TV providers and my folks didn't opt for the kids package and thought CBBC and Cbeebies was sufficient enough... sadly I missed a majority of the Buu arc until bored one day flicking through the channels came across CNX and they aired the episode Buu turned Vegetto in...

Re: Is Godku a thing any more
Super for me is littered with a lot of problems but i'll be the first to say they are showing improvement with the likes of the Moro arc and Broly movie. However the power scaling is lost on most of us I feel. Hope in future stuff is shown better. Great improvement. Broly's production is leaps and ...
